Distasteful living
Peaceful meadows, serene stream.
Restful slumber brings soothing dreams
A longing need for a calming trend
Possible only at this lifes end
Many a turmoil have I felt
Misery and loneliness always dealt
My rocky road was long and hard
And in essence my soul scared
Try as I may to redeem my fate
All there was, was only hate
Those that thought them tutor be
Did not live in such misery
I look around, the wonders see
A treasure trove I do agree
But in the end what does it convey
Nothing at all in life's sad array
I’ve lived my live the best I could
Most of it was never understood
As days go by with little or no joy
Surrounded by deceitful human ploy
And the wondrous thing called luck
Knows me not while others struck
Why should I bother or even try
It will only change the day I die
Love is what we want or see
A need to have, a need to be
Today with love there is no hope
Love only looks for a silly dope
I am lost and hopelessly floored
But this is something I can’t afford
Disagree you may, don’t give a stuff
I need to rest, I’ve had enough

Years of thought
Being old is no fun I say
Forget I try and keep it at bay
But other don’t, insist they must
To give their wishes, what a bust
Born to this world a lonesome boy
With future set a wretched ploy
Luck was not what fate had imparted
To make it worse, soon after it started
Travel on I did with eyes bolted
Now and again my heart was jolted
Fate was persistent if not proper
And pain would bring a joy stopper
I sit and read the wishes of all
Makes me feel proud and tall
Party gone and achievements call
Pride does come before the fall
Age but a number to most of us
But the senses do not agree thus
Feelings of loss and anguish brought
Has this man a hard lesson taught
All aside I this to all of you wish to say
May those wishes be bestowed on you today
Grateful am for your kind words, and I do
Go on with life in fond thoughts of you
